Hello family! This week has been crazy goood!!!! First off, most of our investigators are doing so good. Unfortunately, Pamela (the one with the doubts) dropped us last Wednesday. It was sad, but she just didn't want it. She doesn´t want to obey the commandments so it was hard for us to get to her. We had set the date with plenty of time for us to get her ready and for her to feel ready. Amanda is doing well. She wanted more time because she knew she was doing this for her kids, not for her, so she wanted to have a testimony. That was so good that she told us because she has been really good. But, I could tell that she needed more time. Antonio is going to get baptized a little later, not the 21st. He just wasn´t ready and he asked fo rmore time, but he is still good and ready for the future.
We have another fecha as well. Luis. He is married to a less active and is around 26ish. Well, he went to this concert at the stake center and felt something prompt him, so he wanted to get the missionaries over. He found the B3 Elders. They taught him and he started to cry and say this is what I want and need in my life. They set a date for the 12th of May. Well, they soon found out he was actually in our area, so now we have him. How cool is that!! By the way, Benito and Diana want to get married and they already have plans to do that!! He also wants to get baptized. He has been telling us and everyone that he wants to and he will. He is so much happier now that he has the gospel in his life. The members have taken him and his family in. The members here are so nice and take in all of our investigators and make them feel like family. I love it!
Well in other news, we have 3 new investigators. We have Miguel and Adriana. They are not married and have a little girl. They are so nice and really interested in it. We stopped her on the street and she didn't seem interested but, we went with it and I am glad we did. She is super nice and they both came to church after just teaching Adriana. We didn´t know that Miguel would come. We also have Eliana. She is single and we also contacted into her. She has a lot of questions about church and life in general. So we set up a lesson with her right away and now she wants to learn more.
Now it´s story time. Luis, our new fecha, made us lunch. Ohhhh wow!!!! He is really good at cooking. He made us this Lasagna and it was bomb! I gotta learn how to make that. Second, We got asked if we had drugs to sell. We contact/walk through some areas that aren´t bad but just different. Well we are walking trying to find this apartment building and these guys ask us for some random name thing. We say no cause I didn´t know what they were saying but Elder Woodbury was saying that it was for some drug that he didn´t know what it was. hahaha that was funny. Third story, well not really a story, but a miracle. We have been working our butts off over here. We had 19 lessons this past week. It was so good. Since everything is kinda far apart, around 20-30min metro ride, we usually don´t get a lot of time to contact and find new people, but we find time and make time. Well since we had a packed schedual we only contacted into 57 people (people who stopped and talked with us). We do more but those are the few that were nice and some what interested. Well, the awesome part is 21 of those, people gave us their info, and some where they lived. Wow the Lord has really blessed us this week. We have much to be thankful for. Seriously Elder Woodbury and I pray so much for what the Lord has given us. I am so thankful for the blessings we have. With that, there was a price for those. We had to work really hard and to take a step into the dark. It is really scary sometimes, but we do it. I have been getting better in my Spanish. It is still ehhh but it is better. Elder W says it is, but I think it was just to be nice :P haha but I have been stopping everyone I see, and I mean everyone I see. We might stop around 150 people and only a couple of those people stop to talk. It is hard when people just say I don´t care, but it pushes me to talk even more because what if someone does care. That is why I feel the Lord has blessed us with these people who stopped. I want the Lord to know that he can put someone in our path because he knows that we will stop them. He has put many people in our path and it has really been a great blessing.
This week I have been in Alma. Wow what a stud he was. I believe in am in the 19th chapter, but I love the book of Alma. Elder Woodbury and I are like Alma and Amulek, walking city to city preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Well I love you all so much and I pray for you all so much. I hope David is doing great with his new job!!
I love you all!!
Love,
Elder Alex Laubaugh (Lobo:)
